Fishbones-
Hey, you've got a couple pretty good ones in there, nice job! Has anybody taken a poll to maybe see how many people have been saved because of a helmet, or how many people were glad they had their helmet on because... on this forum? Might be interesting to see. I wear mine when I'm riding, but when I'm doing more work, I'm on and off so much, dragging logs here and there that it's more of a hassle than anything. From a safety standpoint, maybe a hardhat would be a better alternative???
My dad and I were riding shortly after we bought the 'Cats. He flipped and rolled several times, till the 'Cat stopped on a tree, he flew about 30' in the air, head first into a large tree at the bottom of the hill. He hit hard enough to break the helmet and also give him a slight consussion. I'm sure he wouldn't be here now if he hadn't had worn his helmet that day-it saved his life for sure. Fortunately I haven't rolled, but I will say it is nice when you're out riding through the trees or heavy sticks, the helmet takes the beating from the branches, rather than your noggin!
Any other thoughts, comments or suggestions for helmets???
Best of luck, ride hard, ride safe!

How about this one... Full face helmets are for those who like to wear their smiles and not leave it with the bars they just kissed.

Back in late April, bunch of use went, led by Muddy4life, one of our riders hit a tree headon doing 20 or 25 I am guessing, it caved in the grill and bumper on the Honda he was riding, The guys that were right behind him said his head it the tree square on. Luckily the condition he was in after was only slightly pissed that he hit the tree, not being dead, or injured seriously. Thank god we get smarter as we get older, I remember being young and stupid alot. Be safe
